We use the formula a^2 - b^2 = ( a - b )( a + b );
We have a = 5m - 2 and b = 3m - 4;
<span>(5m-2)^2-(3m-4)^2 = (5m - 2 -3m + 4) x (5m-2 + 3m - 4) = (2m + 2)(8m - 6) = 2(m +1) x 2(4m - 3) = 4(m+1)(4m-3);

Answer:
A) 40
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the interior angles of a regular polygon is:
For a hexagon, we put n=6
Let x be the 6th interior angle, then
The largest interior angle is 140°
Therefore the least exterior angle will be:
The correct choice is A
Answer by CubeyThePenguin(3113) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = 5y
xy = 320
Substitute the first equation into the second equation
(5y)(y) = 320
5y^2 = 320
y^2 = 64
y = 8 (y must be positive)
The integers are (x, y) = (40, 8).
ANSWER
The solution is
(x,y)=(1,-5)
EXPLANATION
The equations are:
1st equation: 6x +5y=-19
2nd equation: 12x-8y=52
Multiply the first equation by 2:
3rd equation: 12x +10y=-38
Subtracy the 2nd equation from the 3rd equations.
12x-12x+10y--8y=-38-52
18y=-90
Divide both sides by 18.
y=-5
Put y=-5 into any of the equations and solve for x.
Preferably, the first equation will do.
6x +5(-5)=-19
6x -25=-19
6x=25-19
6x=6
x=1
The solution is
(x,y)=(1,-5)
